Mark Kasai

Mark is one of the main protagonists of the Overtime Series.

Appearance
Mark is a relatively tall young boy with a rather skinny stature. He has big, round eyes, and pale skin. Mark has white hair that has the longest part parted to the left nearly over his eye. Mark also wear his trademark light blue scarf that he wears around his neck with a little yellow star on the side. He wears a long-sleeved, gray sweatshirt, that looks a bit too large on him. He has black jeans and wears low top black shoes. He keeps his Brigadier Badge on his right pocket

Personality
Mark is a kind-hearted person usually being very easy to talk to and get along with. Ever since childhood, he has always been a happy and joyful person. When he believes in something it takes a lot to change his mind, with him sticking to his ideals no matter what. Mark has a good fighting spirit which often leads him to become overconfident in his abilities which ultimately leads to him not thinking when in fights and just trying to attack with brute force instead of strategiaing.

Though he is confident, he has a bit of timidity when it comes to meeting new people, he normally shows his true self when he gets comfortable with certain people.Mark does have poor observation skills, normally not knowing what's going on around him during missions, or not realizing that a villain was just someone in disguise.

Though, Mark is a good team member with good cooperative skills. The way Mark interacts with others usually depends on how close they are to him, with his close friends and peers being the ones he trusts the most. With the desire to uncover his sister's death and protect the country, Mark can become extremely determined when faced with an instance in which he must better himself to become a better person. Mark is a confident person but this confidence can be broken down when he is overwhelmed or stressed, this causes Mark to become prone to danger with him not being brave enough to act.

Weaknesses
Mark's main weakness is overuse of his power, which can lead to him becoming extremely dehydrated and in more serious cases can lead to heat stroke. Additional weaknesses include:

-Cold Climates

-Areas with little to no oxygen

Affinity
Flame, also known as pyrokinesis, with this power Mark has the ability to manipulate and control fire at will. Mark can cover certain areas of his body with flames for increased attack power, or if he has to deal with long-ranged combat he can also shoot streams of fire at his enemies. Mark's control over his flames isn't very impressive though, with his fire usually bursting out of control and Mark not being able to control the direction at which he shoots them out. Mark's flames can also allow his mobility skills to increase with the flames being able propel him in mid-air.

Team Attacks
(With Tye) Freezer Burn: This attack is made when both Mark and Tye shoot beams of fire and ice right next to each other. The two beams of energy combine and hit the opponent with great force

(With Sam) Steadfast Flame: After an opponent is immobilized, or distracted, Mark and Sam rush at the opponent from opposing sides, with Mark usually attacking from the right with a fire punch, and Sam to the left with a lightning kick. They both collide with the opponent at the neck and rib areas leaving heavy amounts of damage to the opponent.

Relationships
Sam

Mark and Sam met when Mark came across Sam being beaten up in a park by some bullies, with Mark saving Sam and taking out the bullies, Mark started to know more and more about Sam's life, and what condition he was in at that moment. At that point, Mark brought Sam home to live with him. Mark's parents understood Sam's hard time and decided to let him live with the family. Growing up as childhood friends, they are still best buds to this day. They both have mostly the same interests: like video games, art, and music, though Mark doesn't really like how lazy, and unproductive Sam can be sometimes. They rarely get into any arguments though they do disagree on some things from time to time. They never fail to make each other laugh and they pretty much know everything about one another

Tye

When Tye was assigned to stay at Mark's dorm he immediately noticed how..off Tye was. He never really talked to anyone else, and he didn't use his powers to his full extent when fitness tests came along, but when Mark and Tye got around to know each other everything changed, for the most part. Mark and Tye have an on and off relationship with them being irritated at the other one day and completely neutral the next.

This is further personified by their respective powers. Fire and Ice, they act like frienemies most of the time because they're complete opposites of each other. Though later down the road they learn to stop being so pretty towards each other and actually team up to defeat a villain with a team attack they made up together.

Angel

Mark and Angel don't really have many friendly interactions with each other. They aren't enemies, however, they don't talk to each other much, but they do respect each other from a distance, Mark and Angel are friends, they just aren't super close.
